We’re pulling the curtain back on what it takes to run a multi-million dollar business!
Recently, a CNBC Article came out about our income versus the amount of time that I spend working. But that article didn’t quite show the whole picture of what the costs are of running our business!
The Big Picture
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset, but there has absolutely been a cost to relationships when I started this business.. I gave up A LOT to build the business that it has become.
And the story behind that couldn’t all fit into the article.
Even though the numbers are impressive.. again it’s not the full picture! We spend about $1,000 a day on Facebook Ads, there’s employee payroll, health insurance and the list goes on.
Burnout Can Take a Toll
There have been several times where I have experienced burnout and couldn’t see myself keep running this business. Through many coaching calls, and conversations, I have been able to transform my thinking!
Natalie Franke & I have so many similar experiences running a business and I think this will encourage anyone who is an entrepreneur!
Listen HERE!
Thanks for reading!

Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
